Looks like a canvas tent with threaded through poles. Might be hard work to lift. MT

Which probably accounts for why that middle pole looks a wee bit bowed?

MT I imagine you've seen the similar one on ebay which is closer to home? Bit pricey but with lots of stuff with it (except you probably don't need any of it!).

If I wasn't completely insolvent I'd be interested!

LOL!!! Not at all!!

I'm supposed to be dealing with the last of our wedding planning before the big day next Saturday. We're gonna put our new Cabanon up this afternoon if it's still dry when OH finishes work!

Not sure that I have, which one /where is it? And I absolutely do not NEED another tent - in fact I have two or three to sell as soon as the market perks up - but if I can't actually go camping right now at least I can think about tents!

I mean, its not as if I've got anything else completely exciting going on in my life to think about eg getting married any day now ....... MT

This one here at Lyneham....looks very nice and lots of nice gear too...

We don't every neeeeeed more tents but some of them just have to be bought don't they. They're lonely and unloved in someone elses loft/garage/shed and need to be given a good home and cared for (shall I stop now?!!)

The wedding planning is mostly done and this is the time of year for camping stuff! It's all very odd!

Looks like a canvas tent with threaded through poles. Might be hard work to lift. MT

That's the forerunner of the Sunncamp APS range (see our little APS2302 in my gallery). Notice that the Outrigger is one of the few frame tents with a full sewn in ground sheet.

The APS was introduced after the Outrigger, but without the SIG, and made of thick 210D polyester, so Sunncamp obviously decided that the canvas was too heavy for this style of tent.

There's another one here for £550! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SunCamp-Outrigger-6berth-frame-tent-accessories_W0QQitemZ160080066019QQihZ006QQcategoryZ16041QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A lovely sized family tent but I'm not convinced by the design yet. MT
